2. Cookout Etiquette
"... In MY opinion, the host should provide some meats, some drinks, some sides, and definitely at least chairs and plates; and that guests should know to bring sides, meats, and whatever else they'd like to share. I guess really, we're trying to venture into more "grown up" parties, since we're about to graduate soon and move on into the real world. How do you guys go about this?"

6. The Nasty Bits: Tongue Tied
"No part of the animal illustrates this point more cogently than the tongue. When I set my cow’s tongue down on the chopping board, I took one look at it and was instantly struck by its remarkable resemblance to my own.

9. Money Saving Tips On Food
"My husband recently lost his job.... I had a good old-fashioned pity party, but now I'm looking for some suggestions on the best ways to save money on food.
